Buttermilk Texas Sheet Cake

My son, Ethan, has been wanting to help me more in the kitchen. He loves helping add things to the recipe and then watching as the ingredients take shape.

And of course, his favorite thing to do is eat the recipe when it’s done!

I think he might have asked me if he could take a bite 10 times while the cake was cooling. But, it was worth the wait.

I can remember helping my grandmother in her kitchen. She could whip up a meal or dessert in no time flat. Sometimes, she’d get up before heading off to work and make us a pie, including pie crust from scratch!

So, I love it when Ethan comes to help me in the kitchen. I hope he will have the same fond memories with me that I have with my grandmother.
